This is one more of my attempts to bake with apples. Instead of making the usual Apple pie, I wanted to make something that would make my boys happy. When I was talking to one of my dear friends, she mentioned that she has a very good recipe for Apple cake. She mailed the recipe to me right away and here I am a couple of weeks later, made her recipe and awfully happy with it. Thanks, Marybeth for the awesome recipe. I made half the muffins with just the apples and to the other half, I added the chocolate chips, only to please my dear husband. It was a job well accomplished. He loved the muffins with the chocolate chips. This Apple - Chocolate Chip muffin recipe also called for nuts, which I did not add. Preparation time – 15 minutesCooking time – 35 minutesDifficulty level – easy
Ingredients to make Apple - Chocolate Chip Muffins - Makes about 18 large or 36 mini muffins
Apples (any cooking variety) – 3 cups (chopped) All-purpose flour – 2 cups Vegetable Oil – 1cup Eggs – 2 Sugar – 1 cup Baking soda – 1 tsp Cinnamon – 2 tsp Salt – ½ tsp Vanilla – 2 tsp Chocolate chip – 1 cup (optional) Nuts (walnuts, pecans, or any nut of your choice) – ½ cup (optional)
Procedure –
Preheat the oven to 325 F.
Sift the flour with baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Keep aside.
In another bowl, beat the eggs well and then add the sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla to it. Mix well.
Now add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until well blended.
Fold in the chopped apples, chocolate chips, and nuts. In my case, I added the apples first, then filled half of my muffin pans, and then added about ½ cup of chocolate chip to the remaining batter, and then filled the remaining molds.
Bake for about 35 mins at 325 F.
Check if done by inserting a toothpick to the center of the muffins. If the toothpick comes out clean, then the muffins are done.
Remove them from the muffin pans and cool the Apple - Chocolate Chip Muffins completely on a wire rack.
Variations-
